Guruji, I love a boy from another religion. His parents are okay with it, but my parents are strongly opposing it. What should I do?
Sri Sri Ravi Shankar: Take some time to decide. There is no point in angering and upsetting your parents. Best is when there is harmony; doesn't matter what religion, but harmony is very important. Later on, you should not regret, 'Oh, I subjected my parents to so much suffering and sadness.'
After causing so much sadness, even if you get married, your mind will never be reconciled.
Then everyone will remain unhappy. So it is best to seek everybody's consent.
